Idk I think Job's wife really went off when she told him to curse God and die. It's interesting how there's no oxygen for her suffering in the narrative. She lost her children too. She lost her home too. Her health was taken from her too. Everything she had was stripped away by God. And yet there's no compassion for her. Not in the narrative nor in the commentaries or the sermons. She isn't even named.

Completely true, however I think there's another important thing to mention here - not only did the events of the story also directly effect her, and despite that no concern or empathy is given to her - but also none of it had anything to do with her. It was all about Job. It all happened because of him and him alone, right? As far as I remember, the story is all about god testing Job and his faith.

So, neither god nor Job really gave a shit about how Job's wife would feel on having her own children and family and home and life uprooted and taken away like this. To the males of patriarchal religious myths, wives are an afterthought and part of their own property. God doesn't think of the unfairness of hurting Job's wife for his religious test because he doesn't see her with the personhood he gives Job; he sees her as a part of Job's possessions and therefore her own character and her own desires about her own children don't matter in the end. She isn't named, she isn't consulted; no quarter is made for how his sadism to Job will also harm her.

Of course, this is because this god and his behavior was written by the misogynistic men who thought up the myth. And yes - in like turn, all the misogynistic men who follow the religion to this day approach the myth with the same mentality and the same blindness to female experience and humanity; and none of these pastors and theologians who claim to analyze all these biblical stories every way under the sun ever see this tremendous flaw.

It makes me so mad when some girl accuses a disgusting famous man of raping her and then his entire fan base dog piles and harrasses her and all her friends till she just says fuck it and deletes her social media or the accusations themselves then his troglodyte fans are like “ah, proof she was lying she deleted her posts !!11!!” You’re actually mentally insane if u assume a random woman is willing to get internet harassed till she kills herself for no reason you’re making the lives of these woman irl nightmares Just so ur fave rapist doesn’t feel bad Hope your happy

This last week has definitely solidified me on anarchism and radical feminism.

Men love the state and the state loves men. Who else will fill the states' militaries? Who else will give men the tools and freedoms for mass rapes?

I only care about women. Women are are the victims of war. Every war. Every time.

You don't want a parrot- you want domestic pigeons. Quieter, friendlier, untraumatized by mere human existence, less likely to remove a finger, can find their own way home if they get out, thousands of years of domestication in your favor, did I mention quieter?

okay lets check workout sets for men

curious indeed

How did we end up here when in the 70s and 80s, men's and women's shorts were basically indistinguishable?

I really do think that the extremely gendered divide in men's and women's fashions since the late 90s is a symptom of anti-feminist backlash in wider culture.

omg exactly^^^ when it became more or less normal for women to have equal social standing, equal opportunity and live independently from men suddenly its womanhood 101 to have fake nails, always wear tight revealing clothing and have your hair and makeup done always

“you don’t like the proliferation of terms like Unalive outside of TikTok because you realize that you’re aging out of youth culture and it makes you uncomfortable!”

no I don’t like it because there’s something INCREDIBLY dystopian about being forced to soften terms for basic parts of the human experience like death and sex (and even more so terms for oppressed minorities- call me a “le-dollar sign-bian” and I will bite you) purely because advertisers and corporations demand it

The next line of her speech is also great: “Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.”
